The First Temple, why was it destroyed? Because of idolatry, murder and adultery.
The Second Temple, when they were occupied in studying Torah, doing mitzvahs, and acts of loving-kindness, why was it destroyed?
@ShalomLipner@laurnorman Of course. The Iranians have already threatened Biden publicly if he should do or say anthing contrary to what he has told them in private.
@TzviFreeman My take is that G-d did well to entrust the Jewish people with sharing Torah with all nations. Kudos. As for CRT? At least it points in the right direction...t'shuvah. Even if only at the level of historic and systemic ungodliness. Perhaps an intolerable concept for some.
@AnaBaldioceda I think both of them need professional psychological help. Talk about a "shout for help!" These two are literally screaming! At least going public brings the opportunity for light and change. Hiding family secrets never comes to good when anger and shame are the culprits.
@AnaBaldioceda There's a saying..."Sometimes we have to trip over the truth to make it our own."
To "trip over the truth" of "measure for measure" and see past the irony in what has happened here and embrace the message in the lesson the thieves leave us reveals true treasure. Truth.
@AnaBaldioceda The greatest blessings are often disguised as curses...obstacles. But trust and confidence in the "endgame"...that truth will prevail...say to Nicaragua..."Be still and know that I am God".
There are more than 7 million Jews in Israel and who does Reuters interview? Rav Yigal, my kids' (former) homeroom teacher for 10-12th grade. Israel is a very small world.
